Light Hiker - Crew
Base Layer Basic. Light Hiker Crew is based on our most popular ORIGINAL FIT style. A balanced base layer with a lightweight profile, strategically-placed LIGHT cushioning zones, and the ‘custom-fit-feel’ of our patented ‘Y-Line’ knitting structures. While we call it a light hiker, it’s remarkably versatile, comfortable, and loved for all sorts of wearing occasions.

Finer Fabric, Better FIT.
Whole Foot Comfort begins with premium fabric. That’s why we ground our knits with a higher quality 18.5-23.5 micron ‘fine-gauge’ merino wool. The kind typically used in luxury formal wear. This gives FITS a distinctly different, and superbly soft, feel unlike any other performance sock. Because no other sock is made like FITS.
All Day Comfort Guaranteed

Perfect FIT!
It really does make a difference to have socks that fit my smaller foot— the typical “standard” sock size is always too big for me and the extra material invariably causes discomfort shoved into my shoes along with my foot—
Awesome socks!
I recently bought the light hiker. I have been wearing these socks for at least 10 years. These are absolutely the best socks in the world. I recommend them to anyone and everyone if they walk a lot or just want your feet to feel good when you walk.
love this pattern
sooooooo soft. keeps my feet dry and they last longer than cotton socks
Quality!
Very happy with the thickness and comfort of the light hiker. Washes well, will pull slightly if you don’t air dry
Best sock on the market
I have slowly replaced my cheap cotton socks with various FITS styles. I love the comfort, breathability, durability, and their ability to reduce odors. More colors please!
A Massage for my Feet
Every time I put on these socks I say "Ahhhh". They way they hug my feet feels like a great massage.
